Third miniseries announced. It's a direct sequel of Islands. Fern fucked up.
>Adventure Time – The Emmy and Peabody Award-winning show is back with an eight-part miniseries of epic proportions later this year. Fans will be just as surprised as Finn to discover what happened to the kingdoms of Ooo while he was away at sea. This next miniseries comes fresh off the heels of Adventure Time: Islands, which reached almost four million people. The series is created by Pendleton Ward and executive produced by Adam Muto.
What the fuck is with all this plot? I want the status quo I'm accustomed to. Seriously though I don't know how to feel about this.
Easton Rivera
I just want fucking reruns
Joshua Rogers
The reasoning behind all the plot is because like the Ice King, Adventure Time is ending soon.
So to pack it all in and to deliver a "finished ending" with all loose ends tied, there will be these plot centric arcs to cover these loose ends.
Easton Jackson
i like the mini series the writers want to make big things happen so let them the alternative is to start a big thing, and never finish it, like the ice king's time traveling girlfriend that messes with his crown she pops up every 40th episode, moves her subplot forward an inch, then fucks off back to the closet of forgotten plots letting them do a big move all in one sitting is a smart reaction to the netflix era
Parker Bailey
June? I don't care when episodes come out anymore, but really? It just came back.
Jacob Wood
I was not expecting this at all. So I guess that PB miniseries everyone was expecting isn't happening after all? This thing could be really cool but I have no idea what direction this will take.
Is anyone else sort of sad that it sounds like they're so focused on plot that there's no more time for them to just have fun casual episodes anymore about one off adventures? I guess I'd rather stuff like this that finishes up some of the show's story arcs but I don't know. This is making me realize just how close AT is to ending and I don't like it. Stinks that the final seasons are so tight on time, I could see the show going for another full 52 episode length season before finally ending, but I think it's awesome that the staff seem to be utilizing all the time they have left.
Logan Bennett
>Finn and Jake leave for a few months >everything goes to hell you know this is a welcome reminder that Finn and Jake are super important to Ooo's ecosystem, it's nice that the shows having them be heroes integral to the land's health
excited to see this shit happen, season 8 has been real crazy so far
Lincoln Smith
On one hand, I'm looking forward to it. It's nice that they aren't just skipping forward to the gang getting back to Ooo and resuming their lives as normal, and given how enjoyable Islands was, I'm eager to see what this next mini series has to offer.
On the other hand...June? Islands got a lot of people excited, even winning back some of the fans that had dropped the show, CN decides that the best thing to do is put it on a five-month hiatus.
Jonathan Phillips
>like the Ice King You predict an Ice King death?
Cameron James
So despite PB's efforts, everything went to shit without the Hero?
Or without the Hero, she finally went off the deep end?
Kevin Rivera
I see it more as Fern was too shitty to effectively guard the land and allowed either generic monsters or old villains (Patience? Maja? Gross? someone else?) to come back in force and fuck shit up or something.
Adam Anderson
Will Fern finally cuck Finn out his only chance of not dying a virgin?
Cameron Hernandez
Fern's gonna be too busy getting yelled at because he was so shit he couldn't protect Ooo for a few weeks. He has all those powers and he can't even take on Ooo's usual chumps? What a fucking dweeb, no ones gonna wanna cuck Finn with that guy.
Owen Murphy
This shit isn't over yet?
Asher Bell
Still got like 2 dozen episodes to go. Don't worry, CN is trying their best to kill it anyway and airs episodes in quick, brief batches so you won't have to hear about it for much longer.
Xavier Mitchell
ah, damn. I liked Fern.
Lucas Stewart
Anyone with a brain left this show two seasons ago, nobody cares
Thomas Gray
Anyone with a brain left this show 4 seasons ago, pleb
Jason Howard
Not weeks. Months. Finn spent 3 months with his mom, according to the animatics.
Nathaniel Nelson
Anyone with a brain knows this shot got back on track this past season
James Thomas
Thank fucking god, Islands was pretty good and I'm glad that the writers are actually set up to finish something for once, now let's hope that they can at least do something decent with the little time they have left.
Also why does CN think it's a good idea to realease 8 episodes in 2 weeks and then go on hiatus for 4 months?
Oliver Walker
CN seems to outright hate their shows at this point (besides TTGo) so this seems to just be them fucking them over because of reasons.
I suppose I can sort of get it with Adventure Time and Regular Show since those are both/were on their way out, but not for the rest of their still alive shows.
Julian Watson
Oh yay, time for the triumphant return of the only reason to watch Adventure Time. People fu king up
Oh and maybe zome more teasing of best ship.
Grayson Nelson
>Islands was pretty good
Charles Thomas
Because they are done with the show, so they'll just dump the episodes whenever they can and move back to stuff they have more of an investment in.
I assume AT has stopped being profitable for them a while back, so they are ready to cut the cord. Or there's a new higher up who has a disdain for shows that aren't just gags.
Isaiah Perez
>Loud House
And that's how I don't care about your opinion.
Julian Lewis
It was though.
If they wanna get the show over with then why would they take 4 month hiatuses all the time? Just fucking air the episodes and be done with it, this is so retarded.
Jordan Morgan
And here I thought CN was any better than Nick, oh well.
Either way I cannot completively blame them, yes, Adventure Time is getting good again but holy shit did they not fuck up around 3 seasons ago. They had everthing set up to continue having AT as the "mainstream" cartoon but they fucked everything so bad it wasn't even funny. Serves them right for being such shit writters.
At least they are letting them finish it, I guess.
Ryder Gutierrez
>posts Loud Shit image
Carter Martinez
I have no idea whether you're being sincere or not.
Ayden Turner
I suspect that if we really were seeing CN "cut the cord," Islands would be the closest thing we'd get to a conclusion for AT.
I'm more willing to believe that Ward just wants to move on, but he's trying to give the show the closure it deserves.
Ryder Martin
GRASSED
Aaron Hughes
Didn't Ward stopped working in AT for a while? When he broke up with his girlfriend or something.
god what a fucking hack holy shit
Dylan Sanders
...
Jose Perez
Isn't Ice King supposed to turn into some kind of flying beast in the far future?
Lucas Sanchez
It just isn't an AT thread without >GRASSED posters.
Logan Cook
He's still there but not the showrunner anymore.
And he's only a bit of a hack, he was just a DnD nerd who wanted to make a fun cartoon then it became bigger than anyone could have anticipated. He's too gentle a soul for that. He's a significant step above people like Hirsch who actively sabotaged their shows just because they were tired of working on it.
Zachary Butler
JUNE
Matthew Johnson
EAT SHIT SU
Jordan Bennett
Is this counting the DVD sales and downloads or something? Because the ratings for those episodes were only like 1.5 mil.
Dylan Long
Is SU even aired on TV anymore?
Logan Ward
Maybe. We really don't know what that was exactly. Could be the Ice King merged with the crown? Who knows.
Chase Hill
Not anymore. There's barely any reruns and the channel isn't advertising the new episodes.
Camden Gutierrez
probably includes digital sales what with the entire miniseries getting put up before the show
David Williams
Eh, I don't know user, most of the things he's worked on aren't pretty good, aside AT, which arguably isn't even good, just had potential.
James Williams
Bit of both, i am a dirty /u/ fag but its mostly fun to watch some people freak over it. Plus Finn fucking up or someone else is usually a pretty good story.
Luis Howard
He's only worked on like some Flapjack episodes and Adventure Time. Nothing else besides that, there's Bravest Warriors but as far as I know he only made the pilot and was never involved with the actual series. That's barely anything, and Flapjack and AT were both good.
Parker Parker
>It was though Name me one good thing about Islands
Alexander Bennett
It was the most adventurous the show has literally ever been.
Hudson Bailey
I like your style. Not a lot of people 'round these parts share those sentiments.
Joshua Howard
Will Finn discover that he has been cucked from his role as a hero by Fern while he was away fucking around with his mother?
Caleb Cooper
He gave Fern that mantle himself, dingus. And it sounds like the land is in dire straits, probably because Fern wasn't good at his job.
Cooper Wright
oh nooooooo
Ryan Butler
Anyone with a brain never watched past the 3rd season
what, childofsquid? She's pretty much 90% Adventure Time.
Mason Foster
Oh yeah you are right. I got them confused.
Fucking google ruined image searching.
Evan King
That's the one.
Nicholas Brooks
Just a reminder that Orb (the next episode) ends with Finn, Jake and BMO arriving at Ooo, but the place has been fucked up
And Nightmare Princess (from the 3rd AT game) shows up, but with a different design from the game.
Dominic Myers
And Skyhooks is probably the first episode from the miniseries.
Dylan Ross
I wonder what happened, but I hope it has to do with Patience, the whole 4 elements thing has potential to be a cool arc.
Zachary Jones
eh.. i'd rather have normal episodes. whatever. that's almost certainly the crown's next victim. in a way simon will live forever inside the crown along with its other wearers
Alexander Jones
>i'd rather have normal episodes What if... we only get minseries until the end?
Grayson White
>no u
Daniel Murphy
Not him but that would be great.
No miniseries has been bad so far, while random episodes have been a hit or miss since Season 3.
Jason Young
Somehow fucking Disney of all places is the best network to be right now, with Nick not far behind.
Retards will shitpost about WoY, Tron, hiatuses and the like, but the truth of the matter is they really are the best domestic channel to be on right now. Even the shows that ended they give a fair amount of re-airings and somewhat fresh content. Pokemon has been getting the best treatment it's had in years.
As for AT, I'm happy it's found it's bearings once more. yeah it's had it's really shitty moments but it's one of the few show's I've to actually learn from them and try to improve.
Matthew Jenkins
I remember reading that one of the writers (might've been Kent, but don't quote me on that) said that things snowball like crazy in Season 8.
Ian Powell
I think that was Sam Alden. Either way they weren't kidding.
Asher Campbell
>3rd AT game
AT had games?
Samuel Ross
That was Alden and if this shit keeps continuously going like this then I believe him.
I'm glad AT was finally able to do stuff like this, if only if had happened a few years earlier. Most of the plot points that got fucked could have benefited from the extra focus these miniseries are providing.
Austin Jones
Yes. A Zelda 2 clone, a shitty Gauntlet clone, a game based on Zelda 1 and A Link to the Past and an "episodic" adventure game that resembles the old Lucasarts/Telltale pre-TWD games
Nolan Evans
it's so sad.. pen said RIGHT From the beginning that he wanted a monster hunter type game. why couldnt they just.. do it? it was CN's biggest cash cow, the biggest innovator in animation in a decade. just mail japan a finn hat and ask them nicely
John Russell
i'm okay with the series ending like that, but in between I need more good normal episodes to make up for some of the kinda poor normal episodes
Parker Carter
I was sorta expecting that the rest of the season would be about Fern, but since they are wrapping the arc on miniseries, i'm actually glad since they can be more focused on properly telling it instead of permateasing like the previous... 6 seasons.
Carson Nelson
I want the series to end on a "normal" episode. Just to see the characters hang out and continue with their lives after resolving the final conflict in the show. That'd be fitting I think.
Lincoln Robinson
What the hell
AT reruns? In 2017?!?
Grayson Davis
I barely see what the point is of airing the show again if you're giving it literally two slots a week.
Brayden Morgan
It's for the April Fools joke that CN is doing this year. I don't know what are they going to do, but they're teasing something.
Carson Watson
We already know the joke though, it's Adventure Time is so close to airing but fuck you we're putting it on every artificial hiatus we conceivably can because screw you, the audience. With a not retarded airing schedule the show could be over and done with by now.
Even if they got an April Fools plan, maybe try airing more than just two episodes CN? People will barely notice the shows even back.
Hudson Wood
mfw April Fools' schedule is pretty much a pre-2014 tuesday schedule.
Nicholas James
I don't think they're abandoning one-off episodes, Islands gave us Imaginary Resources after all. Sure that episode introduced one possible "dead end" for humanity, as well as the means for Finn to hang out with his Mom in what would have been his family's house, but it was still pretty much it's own thing. I don't think they need Pen Ward to do that either.
Jayden Barnes
Wow she's cute
Eli Roberts
What is this GRASSED posting mean
Gavin Jackson
>Loudfag
Thomas Jones
Some cuckfags think that Fern will cuck Finn and steal HW from him, since they're both plant people.
This, however, makes no sense storywise. They haven't even met, Fern fucked up on his job (since shit happened on Ooo during Islands) and HW has been stalking Finn lately.
Joseph King
I'm not sure HW is a plant person that much. And Fern can't play the flute.
Ryan Brooks
Devil's advocate: Cinna bun was a retard when he got with FP.
Dammit.
Angel Diaz
Yeah. but that won't stop the cuckfags from ruining every single AT thread with this GRASSED shit.
Tyler Gonzalez
CB isn't with FP romantically, he's basically just in the same friendzoned knight position Finn is in with Bubblegum.
Also, is CB still smart or not? I thought he got made retarded again in The Cooler but it's been so long I forget.
Charles Watson
cancerous ship
Jacob Nelson
>Pendleton Ward Wuh? I thought he was completely usurped by Rebecca Sugar.
Brandon King
Good.
Maybe Finn will finally get the respect he deserves, because he puts up with a lot of shit for all the stuff he does.
It's ridiculous
Ian Ortiz
All the ships in AT are cancer, it just so happens that Bubbline is the cutest.
Luke Roberts
Excuse me, Jake and Lady are as far from cancer as you can get. Anticancer.
Jordan Nelson
Well duh, they relationship is basically unexistant. If Lady became a regular character it would be unbearable.
